Ali Six, led by Intikab ‘Cryout’ Ali took top honours on Monday last at the Everest Cricket Club Pavilion when overseas based International Six player Muntaz ‘Baji’ Ali sponsored his annual winner take all dominoes competition.
In what was considered a tight finish, the scores read in the penultimate sitting Ali Six (68 games), Jackson 6 (67 games) and Muntaz 6 (61 games). It took the experienced Edmund Sammy, Junior Ramchurgie and Trevor Bovell to bring home the bacon as they marked 14 games in the final sitting compared to 11 for Jackson 6 and 12 for Muntaz 6; the final scores read, 82 for the winners, Jackson 6 – 78 and Muntaz 6 in the cellar with 73.
Junior Ramchurgie led for the winners with 17 games and was well supported by Claude Stewart and Edmund Sammy with 16 and 14 games respectively. Manniram ‘Packer’ Shew made the maximum 18 games with Dudharine Persaud and Ash Ali chipped in with 16 and 14 games respectively for the second placed team while Muntaz 6 top players were Muntaz Ali 15 and Ron Callender 14 games apiece.
Mr. Muntaz Ali has promised more tournaments and rather than doing it once will increase it to twice yearly, commencing this year.
